https://famiboards.com/threads/switch-2-third-party-discussion-st2-howdy-partner.16509/page-314#post-2412905>so after talking to various devs and publishers at gamescom dev, let me just say that third party sales are... not good. even for games that ranked highly for a number of consecutive weeks in the eshop charts.https://famiboards.com/threads/switch-2-third-party-discussion-st2-howdy-partner.16509/page-314#post-2412970>I don't want to say wich games because I'm not in the position to share sales for any developer or publisher, I can only speak in general terms what people told me.>This comes from big and small games, indie to AA to AAA. Most of these games were games that were day and date and same price as other platforms, and all games I talked about where games that this community was excited about and discussed at different levels. It's not bad, late ports at high prices.>The picture was the same everywhere - people are excited about Switch 2 as a platform, they are genuinely impressed with its capabilities. Access to devkits is solved and Nintendo is supporting a lot. But sales have underwhelmed across the board, even for games that ranked high, had good awareness and good reviews, and in some cases sales were absolutely abysmal, resulting in a huge loss and reconsidering if future games should be brought over at this point. In one case, the Switch 2 release stopped a team from getting additional funding because of it's performance.>Having said that, I also learned about a few more unannouced games so it' snot like people will stop making games and overall everyone is still somewhat positive, but muted, and expectations were higher. Things need to get better, otherwise there will be an effect next year, and higher platform cost won't help to boost sales. That's not good. I thought the Switch 2 audience would love all these big AAA games.

I'm not paying msrp for games released a decade ago just because they're on a Nintendo console.
>>746097741seethe Eric
AAAA third parties can't hang with Nintendo's B team IPs and spin offs? Wait until Mario catches the bus and gets his cap back, it will be over for the industry.
i'm only buying third party games on the switch when they go on heavy salesi'm not dropping 60 or 70 eurodollars for the lowest spec version of some game that my PC already runsI am however down to drop 10 or 20 on a good game to play it in bedmarketers, harvest this data and set your games prices accordingly
>gamescom not even started>urrr achtually I met everybody but I won't tell you who and they are all mad ad they all agree with me you seeI'm not giving views to that clickbait.
>>746098328>>746098336Ah yes. Decade old games like Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata.
>>746097678why the fuck would you want to buy overpriced ports that look AND play worse?
>>746098431>both games were praised by Capcom for their Switch 2 performance
>>746097678guys a single anecdote is proof enough alright? you just gotta take this as true
>>746097741
I mean, yeah. Isn't it established that the Switch 2 has worse software sales rates than the Switch 1 despite having a much larger install base than the Switch 1 had at the same point? It would follow that third-parties would be no exception.
>>746097741People can't separate PR talk from reality. If you actually looked at Nintendo's reports, you'd know that not only are software sales underwhelming (being well behind Switch 1) but its pretty skewed towards Nintendo's own games (with a lot of them being bundles). OP's post is basically just confirming what was pretty obvious to see.
>>746097678Bing Bing Wahoos only buy Tendie games not 3rd parties
There is zero reason to own a Switch 2
>one guy>on a random platform
>>746099158Some anon in another thread screamed himself blue in the face trying to tell me that the Switch 2 having bundles for the first half year of its lifespan didn't contribute much to the software total lmao
>>746099158Haven't all of Nintendo's consoles since N64 skewed towards first party?
I thought /v/ said ALL games perform well on the fastest selling console, Switch 2
>>746098785Fuck, I'll take the IP counter again at this point
>>746099803>hyperbole
>>746099950if people aren't buying the world's fastest selling console for games then what are they buying it for
>>746099195Brother, even a lot of first-party games are hurting compared to S1. Without bundles, they either start strong but have absolutely no legs (e.g. Bananza), or just outright flop (e.g. Mario Tennis Fever). Pokopia is the only exception so far to show legs without needing bundles.
Funny how this comes out after The Duskbloods is turning out to be a success.
>>746100046Games.
>>746100124And had more players than the Nightreign test, which was on four consoles.
Is this really shocking? Isnt this always the case with Nintendo hardware? I only buy Nintendo hardware to play Zelda and Metroid really and maybe 1 or 2 other random first party games like Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing. The last time I got 3rd party games on a Nintendo device was probably the DS and the Gamecube.
>>746100124Success brings jealousy.
>>746100230The test was only on PS5 and Series.
>>746100124But Duskpoops flopped
>Shitendo_25Seek medical help.
>>746097678I mean, why would I buy a third party game on a switch 2? Unlike switch 1 most of them are GKCs, which are pointless.
>>746099274It plays my games handheld, on my TV, and on my desktop as a portable monitor. It just works. It never needs me to update my drivers, or spend an hour dicking around with settings to get slightly better visuals. I get that you're just a poorfag, but there are plenty of reasons to own a Switch 2. TotK finally plays on it too. That's a bonus over the Switch 1.
>>746100335>polygon articleJust how pathetic is one’s life to do this
It was expected, no one has a shitch and no one cares about it
>>746097723uh oh, tendie is seething
>>746100495NZ isn't a real place.
>>746097678Have third parties even made a major hit since switch 2 launched?
>Shitendo_23
Nintendo makes the same mistake every other console gen>Have popular console with steady stream of good games>Release next console with a big game drought>Suprised when shit doesn't sell as well as last timeHappened with SNES to N64, Wii to WiiU, and now Switch to Switch2. Gamecube managed to have a game drought following a console that also had a game drought. All these situations are a bit different in the details, like how the Switch2 does get regular releases but most of the games are niche or mediocre. At this point in the Switch 1's life almost every big Nintendo franchise had released one game on the system.
>some literal who from New ZealandVery desperate today
>>746100495kys Eric
No shit. Who wants to play big budget AAA on a fucking tablet?
>>746100671>droughtAlmost a game a month and the only console dev even making anything
Third party is for PlayStation.Not some gay ass underpowered tablet.Everyone knows this.
>>746100495This is even worse than the threads that post UK sales charts and pretend they matter.
>>746097678>>746097741Why are you samefagging in such an obvious way?
>>746100253The general notion of first-party dominating game sales on Nintendo isn't shocking. The degree of it on Switch 2 is what's a bit surprising (as is how a lot of first party games have fared so far). though I'd argue the latter isn't particularly surprising if you stop being a pure numbersfag, step back from the QUANTITY of exclusives, and look at what the games themselves are. It makes sense IMO that a good chunk of them aren't exciting people compared to the games the Switch 1 had at this point. And that's not even factoring in how much more short-term focused Nintendo's press cycle for game reveals/details has gotten this generation either, because having a bunch of additional games announced for within another year or so absolutely helped the Switch 1 further.
>>746100495I think its kinda similar here in Europe. Everyone just has a PS5 or a PC. I still havent got a Switch 2 yet but I'll get one for the Zelda OOT Remake. The console itself never goes on sale here but I see the actual games getting big price drops all the time. My local shop is selling the Starfox Remake for 40 Euro already and they have physical version of Fire Emblem up for pre order at 60 Euro instead of what I saw people online saying its supposed to be 80 Euro. So its kinda weird situation where they drop the prices on the games but not the actual console. Its going up to 500 Euro next week which will just put people off even more.
>>746098785If fucking only, I hate this shit.
>>746100424Not only that, he had to crop the community note spelling out how the test was being held to catch exactly the sort of issue that caused a reschedule.
>>746100070>the bundle cope againbtw Bananza sold 300k just this quarter
>>746100794Nintendo really only dominates in America and Japan. The rest of the world like Europe or whatever never really cared that much about Nintendo outside of the Wii.
>>746100495Yeah I heard the sales in QV and LS are terrible too. How will tendies cope?

>>746097678Who is this a surprise to? Third party games haven't sold well on Nintendo since the 3DS. People aren't interested in downgraded ports.
>>746101159Doesn't PS5 cost like 300 more dollars than Switch 2
>dollar sales
>>746101159But can PS5 beat InstantPot
>>746100070>compared to S1A bunch of mainline Mario and Zelda games vs a bunch of spinoffs. 2017 will never happen again, making comparisons is retarded. The Switch 2 lineup is better compared to every other year of the Switch 1.

>>746097678It's pretty obvious Nintendo has a marketing agency that shills on /v/
Switchfags are cultists who hate classic Nintendo
people are just buying the switch 2 to play old games at non vomit inducing framerates, the same happened with the PS5 at launch
>>746101220>Third party games haven't sold well on Nintendo since the 3DSsnoyfags are retard news at 11
>>746101667Obvious how?
Wow, a whopping 300k. Meanwhile Super Mario Odyssey sold 1.2 million copies in its same launch-aligned quarter. And DK Bananza was a followup to Odyssey made by the same team, so yes, I'm comparing like to like.
>Mamma Mia
>>746101745too bad the resolution is still vomit inducing
This has been the trend for Nintendo systems for a while nowThere's no need for tendies to be so dismissive about this nes
>>746101757Snoys posts are so stupid most people assume it's just falseflagging

>>746102029>mario kart 8 is a new switch game because... it just is okay!?

>>746097678>famiboardsNever heard of this site but I'm sure it's nintendoomed this time, third decade is the charm.
Releasing ocarina of time remake against gta is retarded. That game will get buried, especially if it’s just 1:1 remake everyone’s played hundreds of times
>>746101667I think it's more likely that all the annoying fanboys that got banned from every other site wound up here because it's easy to ban evade. /v/ is a prison colony for all the undesirable Nintendo rejects, we're like Australia.
>>746102135The cross section between switchfags and snoys is small enough that there's not much competition here.
>>746102040Wolverine will rape Faggot Emblem in all ways
>>746102151You're here too.
>>746101927SMO was at 12 million at this point.
>>746102085I literally never said anything like that you fucking retard.
>>746102195Post the preorders.
>>746102106>Never heard of this siteIt's where all the switch pro bullshit rumors came from. Someone said he had a friend at Rockstar and RDR2 was a launch title.
>>746102135I mean what game would do better? If Duskbloods released against GTA they'd be sending it out to die. OoT will at least have legs for the rest of the Switch 2's life.
>>746102173I don’t doubt it’ll sell well, but it’s going to be Nintendos final fantasy 7 remake moment, where the hype doesn’t translate to sales necessarily.
>>746102296FF7R was disappointing hyped because it was a retarded meta-sequel rather than a remake. OoT Switch will be a remaster like star fox. Completely different sort of disappointment.
>>746102234Bananza is not a sequel to Odyssey unless you are saying Odyssey is a collectable. Also DK is not Mario. Seethe harder with your bundle cope.
>>746102293They have no choice, they need a big game for the holidays, it’s just bad timing is all
>>746102234>Mario sells more than Donkey KongYes, that's been well established across about 40 years of sales data.
>>746101921Yes.
Switch 2 will probably be fine in terms of overall sales but significantly less than the Switch 1 in terms of both hardware and software sales. I think 2027 is a make or break year, the only games they have announced are Xenoblade Genesis which is on the niche side and Pokemon Winds/Waves, they really need at least one more big tentpole title.
>>746102296FF7 remake is a 40 hour game split into 3 games with inflated budgets. OoT remake is nowhere near that stupid.
>>746102229I've been here since before the refugee crisis. Place is a real shithole now, maybe /v/ is more like Europe in that regard.
>>746102380Funny because the sentiment I’ve seen is that people want an expansion of ocarina not a 1:1
>>746102441The voices in your head do not count.
>>7461024192027 needs a mainline Mario or Zelda game. I'm guessing it'll be Mario.
>>746102425How is that stupid? The entire Midgard section in the original ff7 was practically longer than the entirety of OoT
>>746097678>a bunch of faggot amerimutt nintendo adults with troon pronouns acting like a cult as emulators are taken downkek i thought it was a /v/ meme but tendies really are cattle
>>746102510NTA but that's what ALBW was for ALTTP and people loved that game. I can see people wanting ALBW but for OoT.
>>746102385It's an ostensible prequel. What with the whole kid Pauline thing, setting up her singing, the inclusion of New Donk City as a significant location in the story, Pauline singing at the City Hall in the end, etc.

>>746102270Figures.
Today is not Thursday Eric.
GoodReminder it’s our moral obligation to pirate shitendo, never give them a single penny to those fuckers
>>746103120CRIME IN PROGRESS
>>746099764Yes but the issue is that the Switch 2 was designed and priced around third parties. No matter what the Nintendo community said missing out on AAA ports was always a glaring issue. The fanbase is responsible for making every third party port look bigger on social media what it was. Because they are rightfully afraid if the first waves don't sell third parties will stop porting and they will be left with a system that is too expensive for no reason because Nintendo will never reach AAA quality graphics.
>>746101993>snoys claiming the success of a multiplatPathetic
>>746103120>BLM
>Overused sad Mario imageOh well, another low quality thread by our resident freak.
>eric still wants to play Nintendo gamescan't say I'm shocked
>>746103120hows that week zero S2 emulator coming along?
>>746103120What’s this retardation? All prices are going up. Did we forget the PS price increases? PC components going through the roof?
Clean it up janny, the mentally ill shat the floor again.
>>746103347Sony raises the prices to keep delivering a quality service and products unlike shitendo who does it for greed
>>746103196For what you're describing it has a lot of first party games and a lot of hardware sales
>>746103196>The fanbase is responsible for making every third party port look bigger on social media what it was. Because they are rightfully afraid if the first waves don't sell third parties will stop portingThat's silly because the ports will dry up regardless like the Switch 1. Eventually the hardware will be too weak to run new games. Right now it's fine because it can run PS5 games that are 60 fps at 30 fps. When PS6 games are 60 fps and those same games are 30 fps on PS5 then clearly the Switch 2 isn't going to get as many ports just because they're not feasible. You can't expect people to make PS4 games in the PS6 generation and you're probably going to need good hardware to run the unholy amalgamation of AI coding and Indian coding that will make up next gen games.
>>746103412>to keep delivering a quality service and products
So what bad news for Sony set him off this time? or is he just stocking up on bad karma for the future?
>>746103436PS6 will have a very slow start due to the component crisis. People will still be using their PS5s for years to come. Series S also puts a bound on the performance required by AAA games. Switch 2 ports won't dry up nearly as quickly as Switch 1 ports did.
>>746103347It's only bad when Nintendo does it.
>>746100935Eastern EU here. Here, the hardware and accessories have constant discounts but the games almost never. There was an one time sale a few months ago at a single retailer where the console was almost half off. It was an unique deal but 30% off happened a handful of times. Oh and the launch lineup of meh games (Metroid, warriors, kirby) got serious price cuts.
>>746103412What quality and service are you referring to? Surely not the endless parade of movie games that all kind of play the same and have nothing going for them but flashy graphics.
>>746103462>>746103623But enough about shitendo’s shitty online being so crap that Duskpoops was cancelled
>>746103516That doesn't mean those PS5 ports won't be 30 FPS though, like we saw with crossgen between PS4 and PS5. BG3 showed that the Series S parity clause means nothing, it can be waived for big games. But even then, the Series S is much stronger than the Switch 2. DLSS doesn't work well if you have to upscale from a very low frame rate so raster does start to matter.
>>746103792is this the cope we're going with now?
>>746103603Here's some anecdotal evidence for you, your mother gives great head. She's fantastic at rimming ass too.
>>746100324That's over 100 million consoles between the two of them, so your point is what?
I don't get it, all the day and date games i heard good news about. The ff, the capcom ports, all of them reported good sales.Shit like outlaws, a year late port of an ubislop star wars game only heard bad things but what do they expect?
>>746103827>BG3 showed that the Series S parity clause means nothing, it can be waived for big games.The parity clause was waived after months of delays. And the game still came out on Series S - it's not like it was X only. There's no rule that says Switch 2 has to have parity with Series X. >But even then, the Series S is much stronger than the Switch 2.The GPUs are in the same ball park, and Series S even has less RAM. The biggest issue would be CPU.
>>746101475They could've had a new 3D Zelda in the first 12-18 months of the Switch 2, it cou- oh wait they turned development of what should've been a quick BotW asset flip sequel into a six-year quagmire that required almost all hands on deck, fucking "oops!".
>>746103017That's the story of every retardera splinter forum. There's a PS one, a Microsoft one, a salesfag one and probably others I'm forgetting. Turns out when you gather a bunch of troons in one place they don't get along.
>>746098216as is tradition

>>746104301kek, he's STILL mad about the "barrierstation" comment.
>>746104453it doesnt matter what the ratio is, its clickbait and engagement farming and its working
>>746104108>And the game still came out on Series SWith entire features like splitscreen coop removed.> The biggest issue would be CPU.No, the biggest issue here is that the Switch 2 has to ensure the games run in handheld mode which is decidedly weaker than the Series S. Nintendo has their own parity clause to worry about essentially. If you played the Duskbloods test, it looked pretty great docked but it looked rough in handheld mode and the performance in handheld mode was gross. That's a low poly game(asset wise, the artstyle makes it look awesome regardless) designed from the ground up for the Switch 2.A game designed for next gen isn't going to be ported to the Switch 2 and still run in handheld mode. We're going to be back in cloud game hell and everyone will finally realize GKCs weren't as bad as they were pretending.

>>746104510Even after PS6 comes out we're going to see lots of games designed for PS5. Horizon 2 and nu-GoW 2 were uncompromised on PS4.

>>746105095Hello, Eric.

Oh you can tell the software figures (especially attach rate) get under their skin, I haven't seen Nintendofags this furious or desperate in a long time.
reminder that Switch 2 is fully in stock but Nintendo is still limiting its sale in Japan trying to play the FOMO game... truly pathetic
>snoys are now pretending the Switch 1 is a masterpiece now to be contrarian toward the Switch 2Blindly praising dark era garbage like the GameCube and Wii U got old already, huh?
>>746105454No it's not. I'm not even that anon and gamestop had it as low as $22 for the switch 2 version
>>746105645says the guy using literal who posts from famiboard
>taking the word of random forum nobodies as gospelLmao
>>746105680why do you hate nintendo so much?
>>746105680who are you quoting?
>>746105645I like the system, but the games and attachment rate is bad. I don't get whats the point of getting upset at it. People seem to be buying the system more as a switch pro than a proper 2.
Why are tendos so angry about people not buying 3rd party games when they themselves know that they don't buy 3rd parties.
>>746105527Nah. I skipped out on Switch 1, but grabbed a 2. It's obviously breaking records, but at the end of the day, the price tag is going to drop off the customer base over time, and previous customers won't be recaptured, that's just how it works. Assuming we don't fall into a depression, it'll still do over 100 mil, just not as much as 150 mil.
>>746105730>celebrating Nintendo's current golden age of success instead of being a snoy that pretends the flop era was good to seethe at Nintendo is "hating Nintendo"Are you ok, cubesnoy?
>>746105792i will bet you that i won't hit 100milwhen GTA 6 comes out the sales will drop 90%
>>746105847>"the flop era"you can't stop hating nintendo games, why is that?
>>746105762>>746105527>>746105225Need more?
>>746105879lol
the first party lineup is dogshit too. totk is the worst pos i've ever been tricked into trying.
>>746097678there's a forum where americans just larp as japanese nintendo fanboys but with pronouns and groomer flags built into the interface? that's so bizarre, a knower should fan the flames and post about it in the nip 'chan
the push for $80 games that Nintendo has done has been a massive disaster. People cant afford expensive games and they rather would wait for a sale than buy games new now.
>>746105029>Horizon 2 and nu-GoW 2 were uncompromised on PS4Both were 30 FPS on PS4 and 60 FPS on PS5, which is what I'm saying.>Cloud gaming on a handheld is fucking retardedWe're in agreement but we're going to see it surface again regardless. Kojima's game for Xbox is still a cloud game I believe. History is going to repeat itself, the Switch 2 will be too weak once next gen starts and the ports will dry up again. The Switch 1 may very well end up being the best selling console of all time even with Sony's eternal goal post moving. That still didn't help it get ports that it simply could not run. Right now you have RE9 and Pragmata dropping to 30 FPS on Switch 2 from 60 and Capcom are wizards because they even have RE4R and RE8 running on iphones. RE engine is very scalable but even that is struggling right now. Throw next gen focused games in the mix on less scalable engines and it's over.This doesn't really matter though because the Switch ecosystem is for exclusives and maybe some indie games or jrpgs. It should always be an auxiliary console that you have alongside with something else anyway.
>>746105948TotK isn't even that bad, it's just a disappointment. 6 years for the only exclusive mainline Zelda game on Switch, and this is the best they could do.
>>746105621>Shitch was bad too, basically wiiu1.5.There was at least a reason to either own or emulate the Switch. There is no reason to own a Switch to other than paying Nintendo $10 to be able to play your Switch 1 games on Switch 2... and Tendies are actually falling for it and then thanking Nintendo. I don't think I've ever seen a more mindbrokenly loyal fanbase.
>>746105975>People cant afford expensive games and they rather would wait for a sale than buy games new now.dont look at the best sellers and preorders on PSN
>>746105975what other Nintendo game costs 80? except MCW?i think Nintendo saw the huge backlash and silently stopped the 80 thing completely
>>746105792Unless they get nonstop hits and games in. It'll fall off. Normie fags have gta as a reason to buy and stay on ps and xbox now. They would need a proper zelda and mario game released back to back to even reach the sales they've been getting prior after the cattle get their game. Neither switch sports or hood emblem will carry the sales season. Less so with the upcoming price increase.
>>746106070fire emblem is $80
>>746106016A 6 year wait, a reused overworld, and no 3D Zelda on the next system were NOT worthwhile tradeoffs for the building mechanic.
>>746106045>I don't think I've ever seen a more mindbrokenly loyal fanbase.well theres the 80m people who bought a PS5 and defend sony ending physical games
>>746105948Welp, the retarded OoTsnoys are here.Wrap the thread up.
>>746106123What are your pronouns on famiboards?
>>746106070Yoshi and mario tennis being $70 killed those games. Even splatoon underperformed considering rhythm tengoku is outpacing it.
>>746105975I have yet to spend 80 euros for any nintendo game, every single retailer over here price match with the digital versions or even lower than that. Still doesnt excuse Sony for charging 100 euros for Spider-man 2, Saaros and Wolverine tho.
>>746105975But remember, some other company TALKED about the idea of game prices rising above $70, so that means Nintendo's off the hook for actually RELEASING the first standalone $80 game this generation!>this is a thing some people sincerely believe and argue
>>746106108its not
>>746106175wait since when was Yoshi 70 bucks? I see it as 50 bucks at most retailers over here.
>>746106217Yes it is you dishonest fag.
>>746097678well the battery life sucks
Bingdrones don't actually like video games, they just like paying for Mario and Pokemon products. It's why amiiboo, plush, and trading cards are so popular with these people
>>746106217>digitalDon't fall for it, that $10 discount gives them a reason to get rid of cartridges in the future.
>>746106253https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-switch-2/its literally not, lol
>>746106206the first 80-100 euro game was in 2020 though? 2K and Sony charge that for most of their games since the PS5 gen started over here in yurop.
>>746106262It's worse, they like jerking off over sales figures, then shitpost and cry when the sales figures are bad.
>>746097678>literally who on some japanese basket weaving forum fake news
>>746106158Rent fucking free.
>>746106115>and defend sony ending physical gamesNo one is doing that. In fact, there's been outrage and even Dominos made fun of it. Tendies just eat that shit up and ask for more.
>>746106296are you confusing special editions to normal releases?
>>746106281
>>746106309>when the sales figures are badhow are they bad?
>>746106262Nah amiibo really died off. >>746106281Not that anon, but it's $80 for those of is who like our games. Unlike the ps physical is half to 60% of the market
>>746097678What games?
>>746106331>the spamming famitsu schizo is a famiboard troonUtterly unsurprising.
>>746106281yeah it is
>>746106296No it wasn't. You keep linking bundles that include paid DLC.
>>746106281Way to be proven wrong fag
>>746106353thanks for reposting what I already said>>746106369>its $80 if you purposefully ignore the $70 option
>>746106418>>746106431>proven wrong>it literally says $70 right therelol
>>746106348Nope, many standard edition SIE games have been 95+ euros since 2020. Insomniac Spider-man 2 is the equivalent of 99 dollars over here in Sweden for example.
>>746106438You dishonest little faggot. People like you are why any discussion is impossible
>>746106417>>>/pol/Crawl back to your cesspool, Eric.
>>746106438Digital shills on /v/? In the advent of everyone shitting on Sony for getting rid of physical? Any port in a storm if it's to defend Nintendo I guess.In 6 years you're going to be crying when Nintendo announces the adorably all digital Switch 3 thanks to the idiots that wanted their $10 discount.
>>746106343really? so you missed the billions of threads on /v/ alone saying "ACTUALLY this is based and nobody buys physical anymore anyway?"
>>746106253the absolute state of raped tenides
>>746097678>release 3rd party as gamekeys>WTF?! why are these games not selling?
>>746106438>>746106509You and your tranny butt buddy can fuck off. It's $80 for a lot of us. Nintendo said half their audience buys physical
>>746106438now what about these games then
>>746106428Nope, see >>746106513the version with dlc is 999sek (105 usd)
>>746106520>>746106570>>746106594>NOOOOOOO ITS NOT PHYSICAL SO IT DOESNT COUNTlmao, absolutely mindbroken
>>746106616TotK and Kirby+Star Crossed World are $80 as well.
I would never buy a third party game on any console unless it was an exclusive.
>>746106175"rRhythm Tengoku" released on 8x as many systems, Anon.It was gratifying watching Tennis completely collapse though, bless it for seeming to actually manage to seem to get Nintendo to feel unsettled about their pricing strategy.
>>746106645How embarassing. Feel bad dude
>>746106616what about them?
doesnt Walmart or Target price match with the digital version for you guys in America? Here in Europe many retailers just gave up and charge the digital price for nintendo games as the ordinary price.
Snoys and PCfaggots need to be killed, holy shit.
>>746105680>shitch2snoys are now switching up on the switch 1 to make the shitch poo seem bettergamecube wonned
>>746106570Bad industry practices aren't bad for WHAT they are, but WHO does them (i.e. not Nintendo). Everyone knows this, anon.
>>746105565Why doesn't this schizo with his "eric" meme that only he understands get permabanned?
>>746106645
>>746106735Sorry fag anon. I know jap and have jap family. It's rhythm tengoku to me. You indians won't ever be able to demoralize me.
>>746106748why would I feel bad about being right?
>>746106762price matching doesn't exist in Europe
>>746106616Holy fuck I'd be bankrupt if I was forced to pay that for all the games I've bought, but to fair tendies only play like one game a year so it evens out.
>>746106769>shitchyou are not fooling anyone Eric
>>746106827sorry you were wrong anon, maybe next time youll get mran ol' nintendo
>>746106769>gamecube wonnedReally? Because last time we checked, it was a failure that was outsold by the Switch 2 in less than a year.
>>746106574>so you missed the billions of threads on /v/ alone saying "ACTUALLY this is based and nobody buys physical anymore anyway?"That's probably not what actually happened. It's true that most people don't buy physical anymore and that for most consolefags who still buy vidya it's not a big deal, but I don't think anyone is DEFENDING it. Tendies purposely misrepresent every argument I've ever been witness to, so I'm going to assume that you're doing that yet again. I don't even know why you're deflecting so hard either. The thread is about Switch 2's failure. All you can do on the Switch 2 is pay Nintendo $10 to be able to play your Switch 1 games on it. Anyone with a brain knew it was going to be a failure just like the WiiU was. I don't know why you tried to turn this into a "muh Sony muh digital" argument when you have Tendies in this very thread defending Nintendo going digital (see >>746106281) which is not even related to the post I originally made.
>>746106353I couldn't imagine even paying $20 for this horse shit.
>>746106762>doesnt Walmart or Target price match with the digital version for you guys in America?Only for preorders, if you buy it even on release day it's full price. So you have to go in blind for a $10 discount and you might pay $70 to play a bad game that you could have avoided if you waited a month and paid the extra $10 if everyone says it's actually good. It's very possible to get Metroid Prime 4'd.
>>746106953>when you have Tendies in this very thread defending Nintendo going digital (see >>746106281 which is not even related to the post I originally made.wow, you must have brain damage
>>746106343did you miss the 6000000 Steamdrone threads where they say that digital is superior??
>>746106774mods are tendies
>>746097678it's fucking over for nintendo isn't it?
>>746107028thats why they allow you to spam threads all day seething about nintendo?
>>746097678>try to sale goycard>failsimpossible
>>746107068this time for sure
honest question for Tendies:how do you feel that you will never play GTA 6? literally the most hyped game in the history of videogames
>>746107068Yup, they have flopped all yearThey will have to go third party once GTA6 comes out and rapes them so hard that even Miyamoto will ask for a bullet between his eyes
>>746107012Digital is indeed superior since it's simply the lack of plastic DRM and you're free to copy and modify the files you own, the problem is that consolefags are stuck with their other form of closed garden DRM plastic so the benefits disappear, out of the frying pan and into the fire.
>>746107141surely THIS will be the release that doesnt come out on PC!
>>746103851It is not anecdotal that Switch 2 sales were only good at the beginning because they oversuppplied and retailers couldn't sell. Now that the fans bought their systems it is clear that sales will trickle down because it is too expensive. That is why Nintendo must bundle a game with every system now.
So Famiboards is going to be baldy's newest obsession on Thursday, right?
>>746107141we don't it bro, we have something better.
>>746107068Doomed since 1889
>>746107236I'm unironically looking forward to this more than GTA 6
>>746107007I didn't say (You) made that post, Tendie schizo. I'm just saying that there is a Tendie actively defending digital in this thread, meanwhile you're melting down to me about alleged Sony defenders despite me showing you that everyone is making fun of Sony when Sony does it, and that's besides the point because my original comment was only about the fact that everyone knew Switch 2 was going to fail and be the WiiU and that you can't even do anything with the Switch 2 except pay Nintendo $10 to be able to play your Switch 1 games on it. You got lost in the sauce, Tendie. Stop replying to me unless you want to talk to me about what I actually said.
>>746106175Being on Switch 2 is what killed Yoshi. The strategy used to be to release their baby games on their old systems. Now who's gonna buy a Switch 2 for their 4 year old?
>>746107218Isn't it the red version of resetera? Literal resetera refugees who somehow needed another safespace. What's this cancer even being posted here for?
test
>>746107335>fire emblem is $80>its not, heres the store lin kto prove it>WOWWWWWW, TENDIES DEFENDING DIGITAL
IP count really needs to come back
>>746107337I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't release more crossgen games desu.
>>746107028I'm a tendie but that one schizo annoys me more than any Sony fanboy.
>>746107208I legitimately only bought a Switch 2 because I caught a $50 discount on it($450 for the MKW bundle) and I knew the price would increase because I saw what was happening with RAM. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Once the price goes up, more people are going to start to be priced out. That MKW bundle I bought is going to be $550 next week. A $100 difference in under a year.
>>746107208>they oversupppliedlmao
>>746107338Because one fag made a two sentence post that agreed with OP's worldview so now it's all of /v/'s problem.
>>746107415you still wasted 450
>>746106774I've seen him getting nuked when he's being egregiously spammy but anyone and their mom can ban evade, and mods don't give a shit about keeping him out unless you flood their report queue.
>>746101475It wasn't just that. Games like 1-2-Switch outsold Kirby Air Riders and pretty much every game they released on the console hit 1 million. Splatoon (which was a completely new franchise at this time) outsold pretty much every Switch 2 release other than World. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe did 9 million without having to be bundled in with each console.
>>746107391>>>>>digitalAnyway, if you can't talk to me about posts that I made, then I'm going to stop replying to you. These are my original posts, for reference:>>746105225>>746106045
I'm willing to bet that half of the posts ITT are just by one dedicated schizo replying to himself
>>746106869>Holy fuck I'd be bankrupt if I was forced to pay that for all the games I've bought, but to fair tendies only play like one game a year so it evens out.I own +30 Switch 2 games, not counting the Switch 1 games.

>>746107642I have like 100x more games than you, so not only are you poorer but you're also stupid and bad with money for paying abusive prices.
>>746107472I'm sure I'll get $450 out of it over the next 7 or 8 years. It felt like a good future proofing moment. I wouldn't pay fucking $550 for it though, and Samsung is raising the price of their 8nm nodes this week so it might hit $600 for a MKW bundle next year. I can probably sell the Switch 2 for about as much as I paid for it eventually, if not more. It happened with my PS5 that's rotting in a box right now too. And my PC which has probably doubled in price this year lmao.

>>7461075761 2 switch had an insane marketing push that tricked retards into buying it. How much did the sequel sell? Air Riders is a terrible concept from a marketing standpoint, but it did satisfy its small audience.

What caused him to chimpout before Gamescom?
>>746107774I said I didn't mention Switch 1 games, only Switch 2 games which aren't that numerous yet even for someone like myself who enjoys different genres. It also makes no difference to me whether a game costs 20 or 70 bucks, as long as I play and enjoy it.

Why do snoys always fantasize about gay rape?
>>746105527nope, before it came out i expected it to be the 3DS to the Switch's DS, and even with it having a more successful first year than i expect i still doubt it can go as crazy as the original switch.
